Today is Remembrance Day. This is a very important day in Australian history as it is a special memorial day for Australia and the Commonwealth Nations. At 11am on the 11th of November we pause to remember all of the soldiers who have fought and died for Australia.

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month represents the formal end to hostilities of the First World War and so we pause for a minute to remember all of the soldiers who have or are fighting to keep Australia a safe country for us to live in.

Many of our students made red poppies to wear for the day. The red poppies are a emblem from the poem In Flander’s Fields and the red also reminds us of the blood that has been spilled during war.

Our SLEG students hosted today’s very important assembly and did a wonderful job.
